Galaxy Watch7 Review - The Lightest, Fastest Watch That Doubled My Productivity

[@JSyntax]

Looks like Samsung fixed the annoying health notification in the morning. I finally received a watch update (via their proprietary Samsung app store) to the Health app that let's you disable the notification. See how to: kzbin.infoUgkx-uNDi911nc5X9hR0phHul8FtHOLV4Wwr

Very personal and original opinions, unlike most other reviewers. Well done.

[@JSyntax]

I appreciate that! I try to give a different perspective

[@xFreyelis]

Can't understand how Amazfit or Garmin can have 14 Days battery life on their Smart Watches, while Google, Samsung, and Apple has like 1 Day to 1 & 1/2 Day of Battery Life only, which is a big con especially for the working people who come home tired and want to monitor their sleeping status without the hassle of always thinking about that battery life for the next day.

[@AnuragSingh-rr4gv]

Bro lets say in a day you go to the gym, run a marathon, go hiking and then swimming vs you just go for run, which one would deplete more of your energy. Garmin watches are set for health and not for any other functionality the more things you try to do in a watch the more battery it requires.

[@xFreyelis]

@AnuragSingh-rr4gv the thing is, even if you turn off "the things" that the Google/Samsung/Apple watches can do, it still depletes an atrocious amount of battery vs. Amazfit and Garmin... That shows either they're unoptimized or they're delaying it so they can release it incrementally and gain more money long-term.

[@Jerewie]

it's simply because they use Apple and Google Services that consume a lot. same on your phone..

Great review ❤

[@dichi3163]

Good review. I bought mine about a month ago. It is working well and I love it except 1 thing: the Double Pinch feature. What an utter dissappointment. It is not responsive when it should be, and super sensitive when answering phone calls. That is: you just look on the screen to see who is calling and it automatically picks up 😵‍💫 only option is to toggle it off entirely, but then you cant use it when it is actually useful. Atm you cannot select the functionalities you want it for. I have contacted Samsung and they confirmed

[@jamesg871]

Many improvements over the OG Galaxy Watch? mine is like 6-7 years old and I don't have any issues with it.

[@eclipse1606]

That's a great smartwatch in my opinion. The only thing that concern me is the battery life. In normal conditions (wifi on, notifications on, AOD off, GPS on) will it last at least 40h?

[@JSyntax]

Yes, you don't need WiFi on, it smart turns on off depending on the context

[@JustYourAverageJ03]

Love this review!!

[@ConfigBias]

The health monitoring perspective, where this data is just too much to make any tangible conclusions of is very helpful and relevant to most users.

[@harshvardhantonage4871]

Can anyone please confirm if Galaxy Watch 7 counts steps even when you are sitting in a car/other vehicle? I am facing this issue on Galaxy Fit 3. Just wondering if upgrading to GW 7 would solve this issue. Thank you!!

[@jaspercas]

The trade in program here in the PH offered me only 20usd from watch 4 to watch 7 so I didn't take it😢

[@JustinHall1976]

We all need different things from our smartwatches. This ability here is missing from the Pixel Watch and it's a serious problem for me. 2:27

[@JSyntax]

What feature?

[@JustinHall1976]

@@JSyntax the ability to toggle through the Android notification categories: silent, vibrate, and on. You cannot do that on a Pixel watch.

[@ChrisEsparza]

I found this watch at a great price and wifey got it for me for christmas, BUT I have a Pixel... Did I make the wrong choice?

[@JSyntax]

No I think you'll have a great time the pixel watch is very overpriced

[@ChrisEsparza]

@@JSyntax Awesome maybe I'll swing back here to let you know what I think of it in a few weeks.

[@DouglasAdNascimento]

Great video! is your version 40mm?

Yes

I literally have the same samsung health notification right now on my galaxy 5 watch, and you can block it by holding on the notification and clicking on the "Block notifications".

[@sbsnate2312]

Not having the ability to connect a HRM strap and use it as the main sensor with this watch is the only thing preventing me from getting one. Samsung missed the fitness audience with that one. I'd need to get a Garmin or a Polar and miss all the other amazing features this one could give me.

[@SaschaKyssa]

I believe the pixel watch 3 supports external HRMs

[@billjobs1750]

Hi really great video thank you. I know that is personal preference but ... what is your thought between the green and the silver (44mm). Thank you

[@JSyntax]

It's a great combo

[@BrenoBP]

I feel like the upgrades in navigation are more app related than hardware related.... Maps for wear os had so many updates so far....

[@JSyntax]

True, it's certainly possible

[@TheSilverlost]

is it still good with a random android phone ? (android 14 phone)

[@TheAustralian1x]

No idea how people are not confused as fk with all this im so far out of technology this information overwhelms me 😂

[@andreferguson3376]

Still going to buy the watch 6 classic as my first smart watch because i like its size and i love the rotating bezel

[@JSyntax]

That's Great reason

[@Diablo22967]

Will never understand how Huawei has brought out watches almost since the beginning that last 10-14 days yet Samsung which has been in the smartwatch game since the Gear days can't figure it out.

[@le10017]

Great video. I have the Ultra so they're pretty much the same and the features you discussed and I forgot about, it still applied. 100% right about the pinch. It's useless. Let's hope they update it and treat it like the double knocking option.

[@JSyntax]

Thank you Glad we agree! Give us more options Samsung!

[@justmention]

In AGEs index keep an eye on the white circle, you should aim towards the green area or at least stay in the same place and not move to towards the red area. If you notice that the circle starts to move towards the red area you need to improve your diet, exercise and sleep

[@JSyntax]

Thanks for the tips!

[@elisapierre-procope9177]

9:59 Apple has the WORST sleep tracking ever. Just totally ridiculous.

[@JSyntax]

, I'm starting to see that

[@dennisrogers6786]

Sluggish compared to Pixel watch 3, and not the same bloatware Samsung has. Samsung is a mess as they skin google with their own, affecting speed and smoothness. Got the Galaxy 7 and returned it for the pixel watch 3 and its defiantly snapper than the Samsung. Even though the Pixel is single band GPS, its still more accurate than the GW7, but the Ultra gets the far better GPS accuracy. Sleep tracking on the Samsung and HR is still not as accurate as the pixel watch

[@JSyntax]

It was sluggish the first few days and battery was not optimized. After that it has been smooth. Too bad you didn't give it a longer try!

[@JSyntax]

What phone do you have

[@dennisrogers6786]

Had it for a week, but still sluggish compared to puxel 3, while it's the most accurate samsung smart watch to date, the pixel 3 is still more accurate in hr, and sleep tracking. Not really missing much have the pixel watch with Samsung phone. Think the better accuracy of the pixel more than makes up with any lost features and it's so light hardly feel it. It's more comfy the the GW 7 ULTRA

[@ghostoftsushima_808]

Got rid of the pixel and its watch to get back into the Samsung products. Samsung watch does 100% better in every aspect. I would say the phone is 99% better than the pixel phone. The only thing pixel does better than Samsung phones is updates.

[@potatochalbro]

So handsome even after a few years. I'd like to make you my sub :). And nice review of course! ❤

[@dennisrogers6786]

It's crap, bad gps, not as good as the pixel 3

[@dricedt]

This guy stays up until 3am, thinks weight lifting is boring and does not care about health metrics. Ya, this guy misses arguably, the most important function of a smart watch. Just say its pretty, tells time and end your review.

[@colorless_man7325]

so much contradiction from the beginning of this video
